The people I was with and I had a powerful fight with friends in the HVAC industry about the need to lubricate your furnace bower weekly.
After our HVAC sessions, every one of us would celebration to share experiences as well as laugh about some of the things every one of us witnessed in the line of duty.
The people I was with and I worked for an established HVAC contractor in the locality as well as were consistently on duty, so every one of us had loads of experiences to share. One time while I was in our lunch cut every one of us brought up the subject of oiling the furnace blower, while every one of us often agreed on most things, this seemed to be a subject that most of us had conflicting ideas, but clients would call us to handle the annual HVAC service before a significant season sets in. This time around, every one of us were headed to winter, so most of the tuneup sessions revolve around heating units, including furnaces, boilers, as well as heat pumps. So one of us was asked by the patron to oil the furnace blower while I was in her session. She was not sure about this since she had never done it, which surprised most of us. She asked the homeowner to allow him to return the next day, pretending that she had forgotten essential items for the tuneup session. She wanted to confirm if oiling the blower was necessary lest she destroy the unit. Surprisingly, several HVAC professionals in our group were clueless about this. I helped them understand why oiling the blower was necessary because it consistently runs to distribute hot air in the house. Therefore, oiling prolongs its lifespan as well as should be a mandatory service practice when a professional handles such a project.
